One killed, several injured in missile fire on Israel, MDA says

One man was killed and several others were injured following missile fire toward northern and central Israel on Monday morning, Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said.

MDA said its teams were dispatched to multiple scenes after sirens sounded, initially treating several people hurt while running to shelters.

At a construction site in central Israel, paramedics found two men unconscious with severe shrapnel wounds. “It was a difficult scene,” MDA paramedic Liz Goral said. “The two casualties were lying unconscious and suffering from severe shrapnel injuries to their bodies. After performing resuscitation efforts, we had to pronounce the death of a man, approximately 40 years old.”

A second man, also around 40, was evacuated in serious and unstable condition to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer. Earlier, MDA said two unconscious males were being treated in serious condition, and another man in his 30s with shrapnel injuries was taken to hospital.

MDA said searches were continuing at several reported impact sites.
